Championship 2024/2025 Season Thread

[Soar Fox]

No 3pm kick off in the championship on the opening day of the season. 
 

They really are determined to ruin it for match going fans.

Burnley off to Luton on a Monday Night.

[Fox92]

Leeds Portsmouth should be.. interesting.

First Steel City Derby on the 9th November 2024 should be a cracker.

Luton/Watford will be fun considering how much it kicks off (I'm sure even during Covid fans turned up outside the ground) but some cracking derbies this season, including both Sheffield clubs, Blackburn/Burnley, Swansea/Cardiff.

Staggered the start of the EFL. 

12.30, 3pm then 5.30pm.

 

Gotta cram those extra TV fixtures in...

Millwall Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Macaulay Langstaff.

Wish LCFC could follow this idea, given their 'family' supporter values.

looks like it could be a long old season for Derby, some of their fans already turning on Warne in pre-season, only won against Matlock Town and lost the rest

Just listened to The Second Tier pod for some nostalgia

That's from last season, not this pre-season

12th consecutive season of free away travel for Stoke. 

[Super_horns]

She mentioned he hasn't been paid yet so I suppose fair play?

I actually think Coventry will go up. We’re in for a dark year. 

[Wymsey]

Reckon Blackburn and Stoke will be the dark horses.

Stoke surely have to come good or get relegated. You’d imagine Burnley and Luton will be strong, one of QPR or Wednesday will be up there too. Cardiff may be an outside shout too.

I'm not sure on Blackburn, likely to lose both Gallagher and Smzodics, not really recruiting, Venky's supposedly under financial restrictions by Indian government so can only put a small amount in.

Kicks off tonight then.

 

Sheffield United have a decent side with Hamer & O'Hare still there.
